One of the big events of the year at Clonmel Racecourse, the Summer Barbecue meeting, takes place on Friday evening, June 8.

There's a prize value of €500 for both the Best Dressed Lady and the Most Appropriately Dressed Gent in the Orchard Thieves Style Awards, the judges for which are Dayl Cronin (above), of Hometown and Dancing With The Stars fame, and Laura Durkan, Tipperary's representative in the Rose of Tralee.
The all-in barbecue tickets, which cost €25 and must be pre-purchased, represent fantastic value as they include admission, a racecard, a barbecue meal, a €5 Tote bet and a complimentary bottle of Orchard Thieves cider.
The band Legends will also be performing to add to the entertainment.
